From Ken:
"I have strong empathy and support of the pioneers."
"IOD
is a candidate for my basket, but so is Afilias"
"I think
all could succeed."
*****************************************************************
Neustar is being called "an empty application" by Ken and others.

From Mike:
"I think what Chris did
deserves a lot of credit, but the model which IOD proposed is EXACTLY WHAT NSI PROPOSED
SIX YEARS AGO, AND THAT GOT US INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE."
***Note From Me - NSI is valued at over $20 billion today***
From Esther:
"IOD doesn't seem to cut it, and I don't
see how it is going to work."
"I don't think that initial
surge is going to work at $35 per head when there are other options out there...I
don't think this is the one."
Didn't Catch The Name:
"IOD is everything we have worked against for years: separation
of registrar and registry."
***Note from me - it seems
that IOD biggest supporter is going to be Ken (Is Ken positioning himself to say,
"Don't blame me, I didn't do it)? - My opinion is that if Afilias can't have it in
round 1, no one will have, and we'll find another way to get it in round 2.***
What do you think?
